“You are my grandson. I will not seek another heir aside from you. It doesn’t matter whether or not you agree to Duanmu Xue, but the engagement will happen.”
Recalling his daughter, who broke his heart, Yuchi Jin was even more determined about his decision.
I must never lose another family member.
Ye Moxuan scowled deeply upon hearing the stubbornness in Yuchi Jin’s tone. “Grandfather, don’t force me.”
Yuchi Jin stood up before snorting loudly in disdain.
“Am I forcing you? From where I stand, you are the one forcing me! Xue is such a good girl. You might not like her now, but you will fall for her eventually.”
After speaking his mind, Yuchi Jin placed his hands behind his back while announcing loudly without waiting for a reply from Ye Moxuan, “I’ve decided on this matter. Your opinions will not change my mind.”
With that, he went upstairs, leaving Ye Moxuan all alone. I almost blurted out things about Han Muzi, but it doesn’t seem right.
Grandfather is dead-set on the engagement between Duanmu Xue and me. Wouldn’t I cause trouble for Muzi if I were to claim that I am in love with someone else right now?
Ye Moxuan’s gaze darkened when he considered the possibility.
Yuchi Jin went upstairs into his study. The more he thought about it, the more he felt as though something wasn’t quite right because Ye Moxuan might have his opinions, but he shouldn’t have resisted him so vehemently.
Besides, that girl, Duanmu Xue, has been looking after him all along previously. Hence, even if he is not in love with her, it wouldn’t be possible for him not to have feelings for her at all. Yuchin Jin suddenly felt uneasy when he thought about the things he instructed his subordinates to erase.
Could it be that he is unwilling to accept my arrangements after realizing what I’ve done?
However, he doesn’t seem to be acting in that way.
Hold on a second!
Yuchi Jin recalled something important suddenly.
Ye Moxuan used to return home early previously because he would reject all the entertainment activities, unlike George. However, recently, he has been staying out longer these days. In fact, he wouldn’t return home for dinner for several days consecutively. There was even once when he returned home at almost midnight.
Yuchi Jin’s expression grew somber the more he thought about it.
He then took his phone out to call George.
George was having a drink with his close friend at that moment; in fact, he had a beautiful woman clinging onto him on each side. At first, he ignored his vibrating phone in his pocket. In the end, one of the pretty women took his phone out to check.
George’s carefree expression changed into a serious one immediately when he saw the display across his phone screen. He released his arm around the woman’s waist before taking his phone away from her.
“I need to take this outside.”
The two women saw the ID as ‘Grandfather Yuchi’, but they did not comment further. They merely looked at him while he left the private room with his cell phone.
George rushed to a quiet place before answering the phone call. He was careful with his movements, as if afraid the caller might hear something.
“Grandfather Yuchi?”
George greeted him tentatively over the phone after accepting the call.
“Mm-hmm,” Yuchi Jin answered gravely from the other end of the line, and his tone sounded rather serious.
George was astounded when he heard that, and he immediately thought of the possibilities under such circumstances. Grandfather Yuchi wouldn’t usually phone me because we don’t have anything to talk about after all.
It must be something related to Yuchi Shen if he’s calling me at this hour; there isn’t any other explanation.
Yuchi Jin might be Yuchi Shen’s grandfather, but the older generation has a completely different mindset. I can’t even begin to imagine what this phone call is about.
“Grandfather Yuchi, can I help you with something since you’re calling me at this hour?” he asked jokingly, making him sound rather flippant.
Yuchi Jin still sounded somber, and his tone was forceful. “George, you are always with Xuan, and so you must know about his habits. That is why I want to ask you what he has been up to recently.”
George was stunned to silence when he heard that question, but he immediately thought of the issue of Yuchi Jin insisting on the engagement between Yuchi Shen and Duanmu Xue. However, Yuchi Shen did not agree to it, and Grandfather Yuchi lost his cool over that matter.
The situation can’t be that simple for Grandfather Yuchi to phone me out of the blue today to ask this. There must be some hidden meaning to this.
Grandfather Yuchi wants Yuchi Shen and Duanmu Xuan to end up together.
However, Yuchi Shen is now with Muzi.
If Grandfather Yuchi were to find out about this, he would most probably break the couple up.
When he came to that conclusion, George suddenly felt as though his phone was as heavy as lead.
It looks like I have to answer this question well. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble to Muzi and Yuchi Shen.
George went through his options quickly while trying to figure out the best thing to say. Then, he answered smilingly, “Grandfather Yuchi, it’s all my fault. Recently, I’ve been dragging him to the bar. Hehe, it’s so boring to fool around alone, Grandfather Yuchi. I won’t feel so lonely with Xuan around.”
He said that in a flippant tone.
True enough, Yuchi Jin lost his temper when he heard that, and he started scolding him furiously, “You useless brat! It’s fine if you want to act indecently! Why do you have to drag Xuan into your nonsense? He is not like you, who only knows how to drink and fool around with women!”
George continued jokingly, “Grandfather Yuchi, you shouldn’t be so angry. What is wrong for a man to drink and fool around with women freely? He’s usually so uptight at work; in fact, he always has on such a severe expression, as if he is void of emotions. It’s a good thing that I’m available to take him out to relax, Grandfather Yuchi.”
“George, I’m forbidding you to do this in the future. Xuan has to take over the entire Yuchi Group in the future. Right now, you are doing him more harm than good.”
“Sigh, but I disagree, Grandfather Yuchi. Besides, it’s too boring for me to fool around alone.”
“Such nonsense! You are not allowed to drag him out for such things in the future. He is not allowed to fool around with those indecent people as well. George, you are not getting any younger. You should change for the better, and please don’t make me worried about you.”
“Am I not doing better? I’ve been learning plenty of good things, Grandfather Yuchi. Why don’t I take you along to experience it? You just don’t know that these women’s body are—“
Yuchi Jin hung up, and George was left with nothing but the busy tone over the line. He was stunned for a few seconds, but he broke into an evil grin.
Luckily, I, The Great George, responded right in time. Otherwise, the matter involving Yuchi Shen and Muzi would have been exposed tonight. By then, the two would have been ripped apart when they just got together. As a mediator, I would be upset.
However… I said such inappropriate things to Grandfather Yuchi just now, and if he were to expose me to father, it would be troublesome for me. Sob…
George sent Han Muzi a message via WeChat on his phone.
Little Georgie: ‘Muzi, I need some comforting, sob… I helped you and Yuchi Shen with something huge earlier, but I’m shitting my pants now, sob… I want fish soup, please.’
After sending a message to Han Muzi, George sent a WeChat message to Yuchi Shen as well. However, his tone and expression were much more serious toward Yuchi Shen; in fact, he sent a direct voice message to him.
Little Georgie: ‘Grandfather Yuchi phoned me to find out what you have been up to recently. I covered you, but I can’t help you much later on. You should be more careful and protect Muzi well.’
